Short: Fast & low memory NNTP/UUCP news unbatcher.
Author: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Uploader: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Type: comm/uucp
DanNews - another throbbing Blender Software (BS) production
------------------------------------------------------------
This is DanNews, a NNTP/UUCP news unbatcher. Unlike RNews it's fast and it
only takes as much memory as you let it.
The bad points are that it can't send articles on to other sites and it can't
handle compressed batch files. That doesn't matter if you get your news feed
through NNTP but it's not so good if you get your news through UUCP.
What you need
-------------
Kickstart 2 or above, a news set up that uses the UUNEWS: way of storing news
articles, and a batch file (natch).
Version 1.2 -> 1.3
------------------
- Leo asked for it to show how far its got whilst unbatching, so I added the
BLIP option.
- Tez asked for it to unbatch articles with only headers and no body, so it
does that now as well.
- It won't complain any more if you want it to delete .overview files and it
can't find them.
- Think I finally got rid of the bug where it locked up every once in a
while.
- Tidied it up and re-compiled with optimisation on, which means that it
should be even faster.
